View Warhammer Fantasy Battles
Warhammer or Warhammer Fantasy is a fantasy setting created by Games Workshop, in which many games of that company are set, the best known ones being the Warhammer Fantasy Battles wargame, and the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay role-playing game.
It is notable for its gothic feel, and its background world, which features a culture very like Renaissance Germany crossed with Tolkien’s Middle-earth. It is populated with stock fantasy races such as humans, dark elves, high elves, dwarfs, undead, orcs, lizardmen, ogres, etc.
The setting has undergone some changes in the recent editions of the wargame, including changing the Old Slann into the Old Ones, and omission of the Chaos God Malal. In the past, most players of the role-playing game chose to ignore the setting changes, however the current second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has been updated to fit the current version of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.
For now there are 16 different armies:
